Great to see father and son doing projects. I have an 8n, and it brings a smile every time I crank it up. Will be looking for more of your videos.

I have a 1948 8N that Dad bought new in the spring of 1948 when I was still 4 years old . I still remember the day it arrived. He asked if I thought I could drive it and I said probably. After a quick lesson away I went and I still have it sitting in the shed with a 60" finish mower behind it.

Well done guys!!!!!

That was freakin awesome I love these videos bringing history back to life good job 👍

Like a kid in a candy shop 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Enjoyed your video, and subscribed. I’ve got 4 of these tractors, 2 with backhoes and loaders. Lots of fun, easy to work on. Keep doing it!

This tractor has so much potential

I enjoyed your video. I bought my 48 8N about 8 months ago. It was running so I did t have to do much besides oil change and hydraulic fluid change. Going to rebuild the hydraulic pump soon to get the arms to perform correctly. My next plan is to do exactly what you did and. It one I can try to get running. These machines are fun

Awesome job I really enjoyed it

You are stuck on tractors Like the rest of us now. Great father son project congrats.

You have a crank triggered ignition. If the coil is brown you have a 6 volt coil. Black coil is 12 volt. Looks like the jury rigged 12 volt car alternator is not straight. You need solid core spark plug wires. It will not run with those silicon core plug wires. Good luck.

You can Put a little oil in the Cylinder to make compression, It might have stuck rings, Common if it sat a long time.

Looks like you tore the bottom of the radiator off, that thin metal strip laying on top of the radiator support should be attached to the bottom of the radiator. I would suggest getting a service and parts manual. Ebay or 8N tractor/ antique tractor forums have them. Will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Those “steps” on the front axles are probably crude seats for kids(mostly) to sit on and spray weeds or grass in row crops. Of course the operator would be driving in 1st gear to help avoid the unthinkable.

Looks like someone tried to remove the oil pan and didn't realize you need to remove the front axle.

You could have just taiken the stirring wheel off and send It down And just repainted it I had 2 that I did like that turned out great

For a while there I think your distributor cover was structural...

Dude Next time Pressure wash it first, This way your Not working In Dirt and Grease , They are a Great Running Machine, I owned a 1952 8n, with Backhoe, Black hawk Dozer Blade. and a Loader, Mine Had Overdrive, 8 speed, 15 Years That Machine ran like New, Good Luck with it It has its Purpose, Its know power house, But they run Great when Taken care of.

gee too bad ya paid 249.00 too much. they should have paid you to haul it off!

That 8N Ford is only 20 horse power. Your average lawn tractor has more power.

8 n was junk when it was new

Don't you know the difference between chicken wire and expanded metal! There's a huge difference and they don't look anything alike!!! You really should learn the real name for things! If you don't know the real names for things you should look them up before you use them!
